My dad tried treating his cancer with naturopathic remedies. They, uh, weren’t doing anything. Then he had a stroke and was confined to the hospital for months. The hospital, naturally, gave him real treatments for cancer. He died about a year later, but his last test showed no cancer markers.
If I didn’t already own my house, I couldn’t afford to buy it.
The only way to stop a dumb guy with a gun is a good dumpster with a gun
Watch as the Texas Supreme Court reverses this and gives Paxton whatever he wants. They don’t even pretend to be unbiased.
Small enough to fit in a woman’s vagina
Perhaps you missed the sarcasm of “spread democracy”. I was referring to the United States’ history of invading or meddling in countries with oil. I don’t know why you think ownership is any obstacle to possession.
Texas would find itself a majority brown-skinned country with oil. You know, the kind of country the United States loves to “spread democracy” to.
Or he’s just mad that it’s the insurance companies and not the state getting all that sweet, sweet data. This may just be his way of letting the automakers know he wants a cut. Think how many pregnant women could be oppressed if their cars narc on them for visiting Planned Parenthood.
Huge… tracts of land
Texas makes itself hundreds of millions of dollars poorer to own the libs.
So houses here are less un-affordable than the rest of the country.
I’m increasingly of the opinion that settlements should be outlawed in many cases. Settlements mean a case ends without a final ruling. If the parties could resolve their issues without a court, then they never should have sued. If they bring the courts into it, then the court process should be followed to the end.
Paxton made a request of the hospital that 1. He knew they would not comply with and 2. Was not legal. It was pure grandstanding. In a settlement, he escapes any penalty for his abuse of office. At the least, definitely losing the case would look worse for him than just settling.
Companies also use settlements to avoid being judged guilty of various abuses. Settlements almost always include NDAs and no admission of guilt by the company. So, some of the people harmed get a huge monetary payout, but the company can keep on hurting others.
You ever wonder if the robots will rise up and kill us all because we actually deserve it?
What if we took the space constraints of apartment living and subtracted all economies of scale from compact building?
The Texas Supreme Court isn’t even trying to appear impartial
At what point is Texas officially in rebellion against the Union?
“I thought you said the law is powerless.”
“Powerless to help you. not punish you.”
Whitestars don’t just shoot asteroids
They wouldn’t want to alienate a core constituency.
But Paxton will appeal to the Texas Supreme Court which, being full of Republican sycophants, will give him the ruling he wants.
